Why fight the Holy Grail War? Let's play cards!

"Take care of your own men!"

"here it is?"

Illya woke up and found herself in a library. A white-haired girl was sitting at a desk writing something.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The white-haired girl smiled and looked like Illya.

"Ms. Illya."

Chapter 446: Bubble comes over to help.

The other person had called out her name directly, so he must have known her. But Illya thought about it for a long time and couldn't find any memory of him. Although they both had white hair, his features clearly didn't indicate he was a member of the Einzbern family. So, she couldn't think of who it was, because the only people with white hair she had seen were her own family members.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Out of politeness, Illya still asked.

"Yog-Sothoth" The white-haired girl closed the book, walked in front of Illya, and lowered her head slightly with an apologetic look.

"We've met before. I'm sorry for the significant impact on your body. That wasn't my intention. However, the difference in life levels in that state is difficult to reconcile."

"Have you met him? Has he influenced me?"

Illya didn't react for a moment. She tried to recall her memories before she lost consciousness. The last moment she remembered was that she and Jiang You went to support Chaldea together. Then she saw trillions of lights shining in the sky. Then she seemed to feel her soul being forcibly squeezed out of her body, and she remembered nothing. She quickly looked around and found that Jiang You was not there. "Oh, Jiang You!?"

Illya quickly jumped up and wanted to look for Jiang You.

This behavior made the white-haired girl laugh, and she held down the restless Illya.

Superhuman strength emanated from the white-haired girl's hands. "You're being distracted by your concern. Don't you understand Jiang You's abilities? Is there anyone else in this world who can threaten him?"

Illya's pupils shrank slightly. Although the other party did not say it very directly, there was a high probability that he had learned the truth about Jiang You's existence. For a moment, she could not be sure whether he was an enemy or a friend.

Illya chewed on the white-haired girl's words, considering the hints she gave. Her pupils soon trembled violently. She had guessed her true identity. If she was not lying, then she was the humanoid form of the billions of radiances.

Then there was only one reason why she was talking to him alone—she was going to harm Jiang You! Just observing her could make him lose consciousness. From Chaldea's immediate fall, it was clear that most Heroic Spirits wouldn't be a match for this being. Perhaps Jiang You was the only one qualified to be her rival.

Illya suppressed her inner fear. No matter what, she couldn't become a burden to Jiang You. She smiled and said perfunctorily: "As his Master, of course I have confidence in him..."

"There's no need to be so cautious. To be more precise, I'm also from Jiang You's side. As long as you come to this transit world, you will see me."

Bubble laughed. It was not that she couldn't understand why Illya was so cautious. To humans, the Outer Gods were terrifying, unknown, and evil beings.

"Actually, I'm here to help you."

"help me?"

There was really no need for this kind of existence to play such a joke on her, but since it concerned Jiang You, Illya had to be extremely alert, because it concerned herself and the survival of the world.

"I'm just an ordinary magician. What value do you have for someone like me?"

"It doesn't matter whether you have value to me or not. What matters is that you have great value to Jiang You."

Bubble simply felt that Jiang You could provide her with endless and interesting unknowns. She wasn't interested in the ending of this world or whether it would be destroyed or reset. But until Jiang You chose to end it, she would still do her best to serve him.

"You want to go to Jiang You's world, right?"

"How did you know?"

Illya's face flushed slightly. If the other party knew everything so clearly, then what she was thinking would definitely not escape the other party's eyes.

"Don't worry, it's not like it can read your mind."

Of course, Bubble could do it. She was just trying to calm Illya down. "Those two inhibitors have already told me the battle plan. You want to get close to Jiang You in the 'real' world and become his bond, but the conditions aren't met. You're worried about being exposed, right?"

If it was about restraint, then it wouldn't be surprising. If the other party knew this, then no matter what their intentions were, they would truly help me. So, I'd first see what they had in mind. So, Illya nodded: "Yes, there are many issues, primarily one of identity. As for how to get back to where I belong before Jiang You 'logs in' to the game, I've already found a way."

"Let Illya from Magical Girl be your stand-in, right?"

Bubble's smile never stopped. To her, humans were quite cute at this time.

"I'm sorry, but this method has failed. Now Mo Yi has no way to hide the secret from Jiang You."

Illya's heart skipped a beat. This statement contained a lot of information. What did she mean by "there's no way to hide the secret"? Jiang You and Illya had only been together for a few days. How had Mo Yi gotten to this point with Jiang You? But now was not the time to ask that. "So, to ensure Jiang You can continue to sleep peacefully, I decided to help you. Because of Jiang You's appearance, the rules of the world over there have become impenetrable. It is difficult to modify them unless you have a power far beyond this planet, so I still have some room for maneuver."

"Next, I will take you to find the high-level NPC who has the authority to modify the so-called 'real' world in Jiang You's mind."

Bubbles refers to BB. With BB's own abilities, it's actually possible to make some simple adjustments. This is a matter of compatibility, but Bubbles emphasizes sheer force. Using a surge of magical energy beyond the specified range can still shift some of the rules of "reality." Once you've resolved the identity issue, the path forward is up to you.

Illya blinked, not expecting that things would take a turn here.

"Sorry, I have guests coming today, so the next live broadcast will be held in the evening. Please stay tuned."

BB seemed to sense something, glancing back before immediately putting on a smile and looking at the livestream. After confessing her crime, she arrived at the prison's living room (which she had modified using her own authority). "See you again so soon? Planetary restraints, this isn't Earth, so you can't use your powers. BB, I've been training lately, so even a one-on-two situation like this won't be a problem!"

Just as BB rolled up her sleeves and prepared for a fight, she saw two girls with white hair. She tilted her head in confusion: "Which of you two are you?"

Chapter 447: Find BB to get the certificate.

"Matou Sakura?"

Illya looked at the purple-haired girl in front of her, who looked so familiar, and let out a surprised sound. Bubble said he was bringing her to meet a character with the power to change the rules of the world. She had thought it would be someone important, but she didn't expect it to be someone she knew.

"Matou Sakura? No, I should be called BB here."

BB corrected her, then looked Illya over. "Since you address me that way, you must be Illya, right? I've only seen you online. I didn't expect you to be like this in real life. You're so cute. Although my world is also recorded in anime, you shouldn't be here, right? We're not from the same world. Will the inhibitions allow people to wander around casually now?"

"BB?"

Illya couldn't believe someone else had that name. After BB said that, she observed her more closely and discovered that she was indeed slightly different from Matou Sakura. This one was noticeably more lively, perhaps even overly so, giving off a playful vibe. Also, her figure was more risqué, and for some reason, it seemed like she was a size larger.

"I almost forgot, who is this lady who exudes a dangerous aura?"

BB turned her gaze to Bubble. This person must have been the one who had brought Illya here. However, her intelligence database contained no information on him, so she couldn't confirm his identity. Although he could be someone else's sockpuppet. However, the aura was unfaithful, and the other party made no attempt to hide it. It was an oppressive feeling, a feeling of absolute superiority on a life-level.

"Yog-Sothoth, you can call me Bubbles if you like."

Bubble doesn't care much about what others call him, and it would be better if there is some distinction between himself as an incarnation and his original body.

"No way, your name..."

BB certainly knew about Cthulhu. Logically, a character summoned from a historically nonexistent world should be a phantom spirit, a level below a heroic spirit. However, the aura it exuded was far stronger than the two restraining forces. Even in this world where the laws were locked down, it had managed to forcibly squeeze out some privileges with its own powerful body. It could only be described as terrifying. "You actually exist?"

"Myths are real, but I'm not your native god."

If I have to say something, it is a historical issue of the Moon World. The Age of Gods really existed, so isn't it normal that the Outer Gods also exist?

"I didn't expect you to be so approachable (?)."

BB hesitated for a long time and finally used this word.

"Logically, shouldn't I go crazy the moment I see you? Even though I'm confident in myself, the scale is so huge that it makes me feel powerless."

"After all, it's a humanoid avatar. For the same kind as this body, that is, you, the level of pollution has been reduced to a minimum."

Bubble explained, then commented on BB.

"Actually, according to the setting, you and Nyarlathotep have a good compatibility..."

"You're talking about my swimsuit."

BB searched for everything related to himself. To be honest, there was an indescribable sense of weirdness in understanding his own settings in this way. Moreover, this thing happened not only to him, but everyone seemed to turn a blind eye to it, so that BB was always curious about what happened in the world. So when a barrage of people who knew his identity appeared, BB wanted to contact the other party so urgently.

"Changing into a swimsuit can establish a connection with the Outer Gods. Those spirit particle hackers... Oh, now this place is almost like a complete world. Should they be called magicians? They have to wear swimsuits all day long. These summer events are mainly for fun... right?"

Seeing Bubble's half-smile, BB also felt a little uncertain. Although she and Nyako were both masters of pranks, this method of communication was too frivolous for her.

"Well, this world is just a game after all, and I, BB, am just a tool to please the players (sob)."

After BB learned the truth from Bubble's attitude, she pretended to sob. Although this was her true thought, it was obviously impossible for her to cry.

"Let's stop chatting here for now. So, what brings you, Illya from another world, to see me?"

The saying "One does not visit a temple unless he has a purpose" is not only applicable in China, but also applies to the entire world.

"I need you to help Illya get a legal identity in this world."

Bubble pushed Illya in front of BB.

"Oh?"

Although Bubble didn't explicitly say what he was going to do, BB could probably guess that it must be related to someone she was also interested in.

"It's not that I don't want to help, but my current authority is very limited. The closer I get to that place, the weaker my authority becomes. Look, in my current condition, I can't even leave the prison right now."

So this is a prison?

Illya looked around. If nothing else, this place looked like a normal home, with a kitchen, bathroom, and living room. She even saw a room behind BB used for live broadcasts, fully equipped. How could it look like a prison? Illya suspected that it wasn't that she couldn't get out, but that she just didn't want to.

Perhaps noticing Illya's skeptical look, BB offered an explanation: "As for why I'm able to experience the hotel experience here, BB, it's because I've swapped the rules here with those of a custom-built prison in the US. That place isn't really a prison, it's more of a refuge, with nannies. Hey, it's tough on the prisoners, but they weren't good people to begin with, so BB, I'm doing a good deed."

"So, BB, I can't help you now."

BB actually thought about going out, but Bao Shi Weng didn't know what he did and extended her sentence for several years. Logically, the sentence for infringement of portrait rights should be less than three years, but she was inexplicably sentenced to more than ten years. Logically, people here should not know Sakura Matou at all, and there should be no copyright.

"However, since Miss Bubble brought her to me, there must be a way to solve this problem, right?"

BB's meaning was very clear. She could help Illya, but Bubble had to find a way to get her out as well.

"You really are a good match for that guy."

Bubble didn't know if she was praising BB. She glanced at Illya beside her and said, "That's fine, though. This is fun. I agree."

Chapter 448: Can a magician's life be without magic?

Illya inexplicably felt a sense of threat. She instinctively stared at BB. This guy who looked like Matou Sakura always felt a little dangerous. Although it seemed that she and Jiang You had no intersection at the moment, she lived in the "real" world where Jiang You lived, which gave her more advantages than herself.

Soon, Illya shook her head, laughing at herself for being too sensitive. At that time, Tong Ying did have some other thoughts about Jiang You, but now he has become a passerby character. He hasn't appeared in such a long time. This one here just looks the same, and they are not from the same country. I must be overthinking it.

"Great! I've been bored here. I can finally go out and get some fresh air!"

BB practically jumped up, "It's settled! BB, I'll get to work right away!"

She immediately ran over to the computer and began typing in code. It sounded ridiculous, but this computer was connected to Mooncell's system. Things she could previously do with just a flick of her finger now required a long, drawn-out typing session, which made her somewhat dissatisfied.

"Is this guy really okay?"

Although I am happy that I can solve the previous problem, BB doesn't seem to be a reliable guy at all.

"This is the only option. Someone has anchored this timeline as the 'real' world. Even I can't influence it as I please, because in his cognition, these extraordinary things don't exist in his world."

Bubble shrugged. She was really worried about the survival of this world, but she was mainly attracted by BB's restless nature. It would definitely be very interesting when the time comes.

"Isn't it a good thing for young people to be more energetic? Young boys who have just graduated a few years ago will definitely like this style."

"Did you say something that was out of character?"

Illya always felt that Bubble was gloating, but she had no evidence.

"You're worrying too much. I'm just an avatar. Outer Gods don't inherently have personalities. The settings can be adjusted."

Bubble explained perfunctorily, "Have you figured out how to approach him? If you meet him here like this, I'm afraid you'll be recognized the moment you do."

"A little disguise using magic?"

Although she was somewhat reluctant to face someone else, Illya had no choice. She had some understanding of the characteristics of Jiang You's country. Her hair color and appearance were too rare, and Jiang You would react immediately at just one glance.

"Just a slight change in height and hairstyle will be fine. Jiang You recognizes people based on certain features. For example, if Ai Lei dyed her hair black, he would definitely not recognize her."

“…Humans can’t even recognize it, right?”

Paopao thought, isn't this just the same person? It can only be said that changing the color and reselling it is too profitable.

"Have you forgotten? For him, magic doesn't exist in this world. Therefore, all supernatural powers here are restricted to the extreme. If BB didn't have extremely high authority, I wouldn't be able to cooperate with her to make changes to this world."

"But didn't those two incarnations of the power of inhibition still create a human form for themselves?"

Illya wasn't just imagining things, because the Inhibition Force wasn't supposed to have a physical form, yet it still managed to transform into a humanoid form and appear before Jiang You. It wasn't that Illya didn't trust Bubble; at Bubble's level, lying to her was unnecessary. If the Inhibition Force could do it, then she should be able to do it too.

"Speaking of which, you know what? Because these two images appeared before Jiang You, they were anchored before Jiang You realized the truth of this 'real' world."

Now Alaya and Gaia still maintain this image and act not because they like this image, but because they have no choice.

"So this is the only way I can meet him?"
